The popular PS2 title has a deep, if confusing story. A few theories within.

Shadow of the Colossus was a great game, from the graphics to the feeling of almost utter hopelessness and then elation as you fought giant after giant the game was one of the high points of the year for me. The story though, while interesting, was open to some pretty wide interpretations. I've had many an argument about the significance of certain things, and the linkage of the game to Ico.

Of course, the internet is a wonderful thing. I never thought to delve into the names of the characters until someone sent me a link to this post on the Gamespot forums, and a lot more became clear. A few more threads of Shadow of the Colossus are clear now, and the biblical connection is hard to dispute.
